Rev Samuel Bowker of Ballardvale,
Mass. and formerly pastor of the Congre-
gational church in this place, also the very
popular chaplain of the 10th Me. Regt.,
met with what is feared will prove very
serious accident, recently, by fall on the
ice. At the last accounts he was unable to
move or be moved in bed. Mr. Bowker
has very many friends in this place and
throughout the county who will very much
regret to learn this fact.

that they should do so, goes without the
saving. Some seem to have the impress
sion that to do so will help the Academy,
this is not so; the cost of running the
school the past year has been very nearly
$1,000. OF this the town raised $500, the
state paws 5000. and the Academy the

Dear american -
Perhaps you will accept the following
piece of news:
The Baptist society gave an old folks
concert and supper at the Town hall on the
9th inst. The programme read 'Old Folks
concert. at We Towne Halle, in We Towne OF
Greenville. Ye Beadle willie hange QUITE ye
latch-string of We doore, at l-2 of ye
clocke, and We musick willie begin at eight
bye clocke."
1t was indeed an old folks concert. The
singers were dressed in the fashion of ''ye
olden tyne" With fine sleighing, fault
ness night, and good singing, it was
sine to be remembered by those who were
there. About 500 was cleared for the
society The whole number of singers
was seyenty-five. W. {. LAWRENCE

THE new alien land law, synop- sis of which will be found in thls is- sue, will scarcely affect Arizona cattle companies, as the British investor has generally gone to the northwest for his land and cattle investments. In addition to the federal legislation which prohibits foreigners from hold ing moro than 90 per cent. of stock in the lands owned by any corpora tion, the Wisconsin legislature has passed land bill which prohibits any man, who IS not a citizen, from own ing more than 37o acres, and still more stringent law is now under con- sideration by the legislature of lii no.s. Laws of this kind are in entire consonance with the opinions of a majority of the people and John Bull will in the fiiture have to look to some other countries for his outside investments.

IN one of its spread eagle style of

IN one of its spread eagle style of editorials the Tombstone Democrat starts out by saying: "lt would be folly to pay any attention to the guer- fila warfare which few papers in the territory are indulging in against Gov ernor Zulick, and then 1t proceeds to devote half column to the task of sugar coating his excellency and abu- sing all those who will not believe him to be the ne plaS akfra of politi- cal and moral purity. This mode Of defending the man who is now Gov ernor of Arizona is getting to be tire some and the platitudes in which the fulsome adulatien is heaped upon him are meaningless. The charges which have been brought against Gov. ernor Zulick as regards his record be- fore he became Governor and the means he adopted to obtain Senator M cPhersons influence in securing him that appointment, have been frequent ly and openly made, and the state ments are refutable if the alleged facts are incorrect. Since his incumbency of the office, he has improperly used the functions efhis position to annoy his personal enemies and by trick succeeded in placing two of his henchmen, of the last legislature, in important territorial offices. He has forgotton that he Els a servant of the public and arrogateS to himself the
 authority of a territorial dictator. If the Governors ill advised apologists will show that the story of the Naco- sari mining scheme is false, that he ob- tained his present position by fair and honorable means and that he has fill cd the office with honest impartiallty, they will be allowed to fall down and worship their "golden calf" without a word of censure for their idolatry. More than that, if they will meet the charges made against Governor Zu. lick and squarely refute them, his DO. litical opponents will retract all they have said, give him the respect,due to every honest man and freely accord
 to him all the honor which the high office he holds should entitle him to.

JAY GOULD IS making an effort to get control of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad. This road was built into St. Louis against his pro. test and has always been antag0nistic to his interests. If the road remains independent or if it is controlled by the Santa Fe management il will in- jure still more the entire Gould sys- tenn of the southwest, therefore it is of vast importance that Mir. Gould should, if possible, get control of this road to protect his other properties and at the same time deal a blow at his old antagonist the Santa Fe. Now the railroad in question owns one half of 5I,ooo shares of A. & P. stock, the A. T. & s. F. owning the other half, each company controlling six directors and the twelve combined choosing the thirteenth. Now II Mir. Gould should get control of the St. Louis and San Francisco road he would name six of the directors ofthe A. & P. and this would make some what curious combination not to the advantage of this road or the South ern Pacific. There will be a lively fight at the meeting to be held on May nth next, which is the annual meeting of the St. Louis and San Francisco shareholders. Gould has been purchasing stock and using ev- cry means to get hold of proxies. Ii MT. Huntington supports the old board it will be reelected, but tlie old board is weak with the second pre- ferred stock holders because they have not been paid their dividends. The Santa Fe company may yet have to prevent Gould getting his hands on the St. L. & s, F. by absorbing it themselves. Both parties will make a strong fight and the shareholders of the Frisco road will receive enticins promises from both. The contest is between the Gould interests and the Santa Fe interests, and the latter has the good wishes of this part of the country-by large majority. Those working in Gould's interest are now said to be offering one quarter of one | per cent. for proxies.

IN the state of Ohio new law has been passed which will make it de- sirsble place of residence for women of the strong minded persuasion. The law regarding man and wife has been completely revolutionized and their rights made identical. Whatever right the man possesses under the marriage relation. the same right is possessed by the wife without modification or abridgmeat. They are no longer one person but two seperate distinct indi- yiduals as far as acquiring aad dispo- sing of all property, both personal and real is concerned. Her personal as we'll as real property is her own and can only pass to her husband by gift or will, and she can buy and sell, sue and be sued in her own name and her husband is not responsible for debts contracted by her before or after mar riage, except it be for necessaries for their joint and family use. Whatey- CT other effect this radical legislation may have it will certainly put stop to much complicated litigation.

GOVERNOR Ross, of New Mexico, signed the bill raising the salary al- lowed the federal judges by the terri tory from $aoo to ss,ooo per annum and there has been no "kick" about it. Governor Ross is a democrat, but he is honest; his record is clear and he has some sense:
